Had enough with the keyboard provided and decided to get something better but not too expensive.And this keyboard was a perfect match:*Cheap and sturdy.*Exactly the same feeling of my Cherry G80-3000LSCEU-2 Blue as they use the same switch.

Things I don't like:The blue LEDs. They are way too bright and somehow a little bit disturbing in dark environments.

If there the LEDs were green/red/amber then it's perfect for its price.

No fancy business with RGB's and silly decals, just a straight up nicely functioning mechanical keyboard. Very suitable for software developers that want the assurance to each keystroke. Great price!Would highly recommend for professional use as long as your colleagues are ok with the mechanical clacks.

My only complaint from the last few days of use is that the shift key is either very slightly too stiff or doesn't provide as much tactile feedback causing the occasional error but this I would consider minor and very easily acclimated to.

Keep in mind, this review is for the GK-FORCE K83 RED model, as there seem to be several different models listed under this amazon product.

I bought this keyboard for work, as I'm a software engineer and spend a great deal of the day typing. My work provided me with a standard Dell membrane keyboard, and I was looking for a replacement that had CherryMX switches but wouldn't stand out and look too 'gamery'. This board was the cheapest Cherry switch keyboard I could find ($40 with no special sale), so I snatched one up. I was very impressed with the build quality. The top plate is full metal (the surface that the keys are on, whatever that is called) and overall the board feels very high quality. Been using for a few days now and have nothing to complain about.

Pros:Amazing build quality - the full front plate (the part that says 'Gigabyte') is metal, the board is quite heavy and does not bend at all, and flip-up feet feel extremely solidPrice - for a CherryMX board, you just can't beat itWinlock button - a nice touch for gamers

Cons:Media control - maybe not a big deal to some people, but I did miss having dedicated media control buttons when trying it at home. It has media control on the F keys, but the FN button must be held down to use them, turning media control into a two-hand process since the FN key is on the opposite sideNo flare - potentially a pro if you're specifically looking for a mechanical keyboard that isn't flashy

Neither cons really apply to me since I listen to music on my phone at work, so it's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Well done, Gigabyte.

5.0 out of 5 starsK83 Red - a quality keyboard at a budget price with REAL Cherry MX Red Switches!

This is for the K83 Red Switch keyboard since there are multiple products reviewed here.

This is the best functional "no-frills" mechanical keyboard you'll be able to find. There is no backlight, no RGB, no macro keys, and no software required to be installed. This keyboard is 100% plug and play with no setup required! I picked it up for an absolute bargain price on sale for $39.99 here on Amazon. For me the lack of unwanted features keeps the price point down and you're still getting a solidly produced, high quality keyboard using real Cherry MX Switches. These are not Oetemu, Gateron, or Kailh switches. I am an avid PC Gamer and this keyboard is the bees knees.

Even though this is the standard 104-key layout with no macro keys (thank goodness) or dedicated media keys I feel it should be noted the function (FN) key to the right of the space bar allows many shortkey functions which work just fine.

If you've never typed or gamed on Cherry MX Red Switches before, especially if you're coming from Cherry MX Blues or Browns, you may have an adjustment period like I did. They have a very light actuation force of 45 grams. Because of my experiences, I highly recommend getting these o-rings if you want to quiet it down, and limit your key travel to keep you from bottoming out on the board. They only took me about 20 minutes to install:

Putting o-rings on a Cherry MX Red switch keyboard will make this keyboard just as quiet as most dome switch keyboards.

I am so impressed with this Gigabyte K83 keyboard that I am most likely using it to replace my Razer Blackwidow Chroma v2 -- which I think says a lot. I don't need bloated software and unwanted macro keys.

Pros:- Keyboard is sturdy and heavy- There is a Fn key for the task manager- Cost- Looks classic and simple

Cons:- Keys are printed instead of molded- Inconsistent alignment of prints on keys- Keys are wearing off after less than two weeks of use. This is unacceptable, considering Dell's cheapo keyboards can hold up for years. See photo for example. Note the fading on the common keys (A,S,D,F,C,E,R,T) compared to the Q key. E is the worst for obvious reasons.- The tactile feel is great with 2 o-rings on each key, but 4 or 6 of the keys did not work, indicating that either the actuation distance is inconsistent, or the key caps are inconsistent. I am hoping is it the latter, as I would expect better quality from Cherry MX switches.

Neutral:- Keys are fairly quiet with o-rings, except for space bar and wide keys. Space bar is quite loud actually.- Keys are concave, but not greatly so. Your fingers fit to them, but they are not hugged by them.- Keys are consistent with the pressure needed to actuate them when pressed from the top. If pressed on the edge, there is more resistance, which can cause an occasional key to be skipped. Not what I was expecting for Cherry MX switches.- I noticed that there are occasionally double-typed keys, though I am not ruling out that this is my own fault, as I am more used to tactile keys.- Some keys are not snug on the switch stems, so if you plan on transporting this keyboard, you accept the risk that one or more keys may fall of in transport.- I feel the need to replace the keys caps with higher quality ones. I have never really had this concern before.

Nothing fancy, just a great quality keyboard. I wish I bought it years ago when I built the computer. The Cherry Blue keys are exactly what I always wanted. Typing is a pleasure. Gaming is fine, too. Borderless design saves on desktop space. Heavy weight and rubber feet keep it in place very well. Plug and play with USB - no software needed. Gigabyte makes quality products. My motherboard and video card are both Gigabyte products, and have been running flawlessly since 2011. I imagine this keyboard should last practically forever. I could go on and on, well, because I simply like typing on this thing. What else can I say? Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs!
